The PSA test is just one of a number of tests for early detection of prostate cancer. If you want to jump to diagnosis of prostate cancer, go to Earlier Detection: Finding Prostate Cancer.
PSA is the abbreviation for prostate-specific antigen, a substance produced by the prostate cells. A PSA test measures the level of PSA in the bloodstream. Very little PSA escapes from a healthy prostate into the bloodstream, but certain prostate conditions can cause larger amounts of PSA to leak into the blood.
